Advancing Human Innovation through Technology
The Adaptive Edge Institute at Illinois State University provides educational programming and services to help individuals and organizations meet the moment in a rapidly evolving technological landscape — to give them an adaptive edge in a world where artificial intelligence, augmented and virtual reality, and other advanced technologies are reshaping daily life and entire industries. We harness Illinois State’s core values and strengths — evidence-informed teaching, inclusion, and innovation — to advocate for practices that embrace technology while also keeping humans and the qualities only we can bring to bear at the center of everything we do.
Events
Throughout the year, we offer workshops and other events for faculty, staff, students, and the wider community.
Services
We’re happy to consult with faculty and staff on how AI or other emerging technologies can be implemented into your teaching and research. We have also allocated resources to develop prototypes for research and teaching innovation, including custom chatbot integration, local AI research, and external partnership support for new solutions around emerging technologies.
Programs
We coordinate various synchronous and asynchronous experiences for deeper dives into topics related to emerging technologies.
